How to Obtain a U.S. Student Visa?

I have applied for a nursing program to study in the U.S. I am worried that my chosen field may affect my ability to prove my intention to return to Vietnam after completing my studies during the visa interview. Can you guide me on how to answer the interview questions well and convincingly?

• Answer from Ms. Quách Mỹ Ngọc, Deputy Director of the Institute of International Education (IIE) in Ho Chi Minh City:

Unfortunately, we cannot guide you on how to answer the interview questions. The fact that you have chosen to study nursing does not determine whether your visa will be approved.

Visa officers will base their decision on several factors, including your study plans, financial conditions, and the ties you have in Vietnam that will ensure you return after graduation.

Being honest, clear, and maintaining a professional demeanor while answering the interview questions will always be the most convincing approach.

I am currently enrolled in the first year of the diploma program at Aptech. After completing this program, can I transfer to a U.S. university to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology? If yes, what should I do and what conditions must I meet?

• Answer from Ms. Quách Mỹ Ngọc, Deputy Director of the Institute of International Education (IIE) in Ho Chi Minh City:

All universities in the U.S. have different admission policies. You need to find a university first, then send your transcripts and contact their admissions office directly. You can also email professors in the department (especially academic advisors) to inquire about transfer opportunities and seek academic advice.
